Biathletes from NSW, ACT and Victoria delivered some great results at the Australian XC Roller-Ski Championships held at Stromlo Forest Park on Saturday 13^th April, 2019. 

Biathletes featured in all age groups and delivered some very strong results including Darcie Morton taking first place in both the Open Women’s Sprint and Criterium events.

Not to be outdone by her older sister, Damika Morton also took first place in both U12 Girl’s events along with NSW’s own pocket-rocket, Alberto Allan, taking first place in U12 Boys Sprint and Criterium.

Other great podium results included Edward Johnston and Archie Landon-Smith in the U12 Boys, Phoenix Sparke in the U16 Boys, Harriet Greville in the U16 Girls, Bentley Walker-Broose  in the Open's Men together with Coach Cameron Morton, continuing to defy age (and grey hair!) picking up a 2^nd in the Men’s Open Criterium and Sprint time-trial.
